The Green and Whites will take on the Bats on matchday 38 in the LaLiga.
Beticos will lock horns against the Ches Blanquinegros in the final matchday of the La Liga. Both teams have had their own objectives this season and will be quite happy with their performance. Real Betis, for the first time, have reached the final of the UEFA Conference League and will now face the Premier League giants Chelsea.
They have played 37 games, out of which they won 16, drew 11 and lost 10. With 59 points on the table, they are sitting in the sixth spot. They have secured the UEFA Europa League league phase spot for the next season.
Even though they are not in good form right now, as they have dropped points in their last few games. Pellegrini will surely look to rotate his lineups to keep his main players fresh for the final.
On the other hand, Valencia at the start of the season were battling in the relegation zone. Since the arrival of Carlos Corberan, things have changed a lot. In 37 games, they won 11, drew 12 and lost 14 games.
With 45 points on the table, they are sitting in 12th position. They can still finish in the top 10 if Mallorca and Real Sociedad drop points in the upcoming fixture.
Overall, they are full of confidence, and despite back-to-back losses in the league, they will be looking to get points away from home. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch
Pablo Fornals (Real Betis)
His playing style is a combination of technical brilliance and diligence. Fornals is a versatile midfielder who can play as a centre or attacking midfielder, as well as a wide playmaker. His extraordinary IQ is evident in his ability to read the game, exploit open spaces, and effortlessly link up play.
One of Fornal’s notable assets is his movement off the ball. Whether he’s going deep to collect the ball or making late runs into the box, his spatial awareness is flawless. He specialises in rapid, one-touch combinations, frequently serving as the glue in complex passing sequences.
He has played 25 games this season in which he has scored twice and received two yellow cards.
Enzo Barrenechea (Valencia)
Enzo is of medium height and has a mesomorphic build. His execution speed is good, as is his speed of movement. His long legs contribute to the remarkable amplitude of his stride, which allows him to reach a certain point quickly.
He is always an initiative-taker and never shows any signs of relaxation or lack of concentration. Due to his physical profile, it is easier for him to cover large spaces and thus protect the backs of the other midfielders with whom he forms an inverted triangle. This season he has played 29 games in which he scored once and provided two assists.
